Spring lite ...

... Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is? (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Those who love daylight but dislike compulsion -- President Harding among them -- supported "voluntary" DST. That is: Wake up earlier! Make the day's events conform to the sun's time; in spring and summer, begin work, school and baseball games an hour earlier. Alas, noncompliance doomed this sunny compromise.
Harding starting to look better and better to me.

  1. "Wake up earlier!"

    John Godfrey Saxe had the proper view of that notion.
